Often when you hear kids on a playground describing their dads, you catch declarations like ,”Well my dad is the strongest man on earth. Well my dad is the smartest.” If you’re lucky enough to have Dolph Lundgren as a father, both statements are pretty close to the truth. And what bragging rights!

When it comes to kids, parents have to strike a delicate balance between being hands-on and letting go. Mistakes and experiences, both good and bad, inform children’s minds and future behavior, so it’s important to let them learn for themselves sometimes. We so often think about physical health and keeping kids healthy with good vitamins, diets, and exercise. But of course, mental health—mental “strength” in general—is equally crucial.
